Nonlinear susceptibilities of heavy ion collisions within the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

Abstract

The baryon-number susceptibilities is correlated to the fluctuations obtained in experiments, we can theoretically calculate the susceptibility and compare it with the experimental fluctuations data. In this paper, we calculate the baryon-number susceptibilities from the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model, then compare them with the the heavy ion collision experimental fluctuation data and the results from other models, lattice QCD and the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) approach. Our results are in line with the experiment and very similar to the results of DSEs at experimental points, which shows that the PNJL model is suitable for studying this issue.
